I am particularly passionate about AI and prompt engineering, which recently led to my commission as an artist for an upcoming exhibition at the prestigious Australian Center for Moving Image (ACMI). I see prompt engineering as a creative challenge - somewhere between writing poetry and code. I am committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible with AI and helping others unlock its full potential.

With my expertise in designing immersive and surreal worlds in AR and VR, I have delivered apps that have been utilized for a range of purposes - scientific, educational, and creative. I have had the opportunity to present my work at international vision science conferences, art galleries, and festivals.

My PhD work focuses on perceptual learning of image texture in humans using psychophysical methods. This is done in healthy participants and those with neurodegenerative disease.

As a PhD researcher in neuroscience, I am passionate about exploring the intricacies of the brain. Through my studies, I aim to expand our understanding of how the brain learns information and how that learning influences our perceptions and behaviors.

My research has given me a deep knowledge of visual neuroscience, which I have leveraged in my work as an artist, innovator, and technology specialist. This unique blend of expertise has enabled me to create digital experiences that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also grounded in scientific principles.

As a writer, I have contributed to publications such as the Springer Series for Cultural Computing, Journal for the Optical Society of America, Journal of Vision, Sci Art in America, Lateral, Runway Experimental Art, and Medium. My writing explores the intersection of art, science, and technology, with a special focus on AI and ethics.

I have won several grants to develop educational apps for the Australian National University Medical School. These apps have been used to train future doctors in neuroanatomy for the last several years. I have also developed curriculums in conjunction with large tech companies to teach AR technology to new digital creators.

Outreach is important to me, I firmly believe that “you can’t be what you can’t see.” As a woman in science, technology, and the arts I have acted as a mentor and had the opportunity to speak at prestigious events such as the Royal College of Arts London Future of Fragrance Forum and the AR in Action Leadership Summit at MIT. In addition, I co-chaired the Femme Futures mixed reality grant (USA) and led workshops for young people on AR at the National Gallery of Australia and the National Portrait Gallery. I have also contributed to various round-table discussions and panels relating to art and technology.
